Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connecting device comprising a cylindrical nozzle, which is made of a rigid material, and a pipe, which is made of a deformable material. More specifically, the cylindrical end is derived from a motor vehicle air conditioner and the flexible pipe is designed to remove condensation from the air conditioner. Indeed, the air conditioning unit of a motor vehicle generates condensation which is discharged to the outside of the vehicle via a pipe passing through the floor.
  • the positioning of the rib in the recess of the evacuation pipe is difficult because the operator can either align the rib and the recess visually so as to quickly join together or blindly do it. he can not visualize this area of the air conditioner.
  • connection device comprising a cylindrical tip, which is made of a rigid material, and a pipe, which is made of a deformable material, said tip comprising a holding rib in position adapted to cooperate with a recess of said pipe to lock in translation the pipe on said tip, characterized in that at its end intended to cooperate with the nozzle, said pipe comprises a housing, upstream of the recess and projecting from its outer surface, having an opening through which the rib is inserted before the full attachment of the two parts and in that the housing has a side wall longer than another arranged parallel to form a rotational locking means of the rib against the longer side wall before insertion into the housing.
  • the pipe of deformable material is cut in a bevel at its end intended to come into contact with the end piece, so that the housing has a side wall longer than the other,
  • a tongue adapted to deform during the passage of the rib from its insertion position in the housing to its final position of joining the two parts, - the surface of the rib capable of entering in contact with the tongue is inclined, so that the tongue of the discharge pipe slides on this surface,
  • the angle of inclination of the surface of the rib is 50 ° relative to a horizontal
  • the rib has a locking surface orthogonal to the outer surface of the tip, so that, after insertion of the rib deformed in the recess, the tongue returns to its original undistorted position and therefore constitutes a locking means
  • the cylindrical endpiece belongs to a motor vehicle air conditioner
  • the hose is a condensate drain pipe from the air conditioner.
  • FIG. 1 represents a perspective view of the air-conditioner of a motor vehicle equipped with the condensation drain pipe according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 represents a section at the beginning of the fitting of the rib of the endpiece in the housing of the discharge pipe according to the invention
  • FIG. 3 represents a perspective view of the section of FIG.
  • FIG. 4 represents a section during the abutment of the rib on the tongue in the bottom of the housing of the discharge pipe according to the invention
  • FIG. 5 represents a perspective view of the section of FIG. 4,
  • FIG. 6 shows a section when the tongue of the discharge pipe according to the invention is deformed by the passage of the rib to its final translation locking position
  • FIG. 7 represents a perspective view of the section of Figure
  • FIG. 8 represents a section of the exhaust pipe according to the invention locked in translation on the cylindrical end of the air conditioner
  • FIG. 9 represents a perspective view of the section of FIG. 8.
  • the invention discloses an air conditioner 10 of a motor vehicle which generates condensation to be discharged to the outside of the vehicle via a pipe 12 for evacuation passing through the floor.
  • a cylindrical tip 14 is at the bottom of the air conditioner to attach the drain pipe 12.
  • the cylindrical tip 14 is a male part, which is made of a rigid material, and has a rib 16 projecting on its outer surface.
  • the rib 16 is adapted to cooperate with a recess 18 formed on the discharge pipe 12 to hold the two parts in position.
  • the discharge pipe 12 constitutes a female part, which is made of a flexible deformable material such as rubber. Upstream of the recess 18, it has a housing 20 substantially U-shaped adapted to receive the rib 16.
  • This housing has an opening 26 adapted to allow the insertion of the rib 16 in the housing 18 and two walls side: a long side wall 22 and a short side wall 24. Indeed, the long side wall 22 will be used as means for locking rotation of the rib 16 to align with the recess 18 of the discharge pipe 12.
  • This provides the advantage of facilitating the referencing of the rib 16 with respect to the discharge pipe 12 and thus makes it easier and faster to plug the exhaust pipe 12 onto the nozzle. 14.
  • the discharge pipe 12 is bevelled at its end intended to come into contact with the end piece 14, so that the housing 20 has this long side wall 22 and this short side wall 24, As illustrated in FIG. 3, it should be noted that it could be cut in any shape, so that the housing 20 has a long side wall and a short side wall.
  • this housing whose longest wall length 22 according to our embodiment a length substantially identical to that of the rib 16, is a tab 30 deformable by the action of a force in the direction of introduction of the rib 16 into the recess 18.
  • the rib 16 has an inclined insertion surface 28, said surface 28 coming into contact with the tongue 30 in the direction of introduction.
  • the angle of inclination of the insertion surface 28 is 50 ° to a horizontal.
  • the tongue 30 is inclined so that the insertion surface 28 slides against the surface 32 of the tongue 30 in direct contact with the surface 28.
  • the rib 16 has a blocking surface 34 orthogonal to the outer surface of the tip 14.
  • the tongue 30 returns to its original undistorted position and therefore constitutes a locking means when it is in contact with the translational locking surface 34 of the rib 16.
  • the recess 18 has substantially the same length as the rib 16.
  • the discharge pipe 12 will be perfectly held in position on the cylindrical nozzle 14.
  • the invention has a new device 10 for connecting a flexible discharge pipe 12 to a rigid cylindrical air conditioner nozzle 14 having reference means providing advantages over the prior art.
